There is nothing that epitomizes the Atlanta Falcons fan experience more than checking the ESPN gamecast on my phone with my team down 3 and then having it immediately show me a pick-6 going the wrong way (on opening day).

Deniz came up with an incredible pitch; I picked up some Play-Doh, and that's how it all started. Three Eisners! A huge thank you to the Eisner Awards for this incredible honor. To everyone who voted for our book. To everyone who read it. To my brother Deniz for choosing me>>

[movie execs on Monday] okay, what’s OUR Christopher Nolan directed adaptation of an epic poem featuring an all-star cast at the top of their game which innovates a new filming technique and manages to be both broadly entertaining and dig into universal themes relevant to the world today?

I'm a big physical media guy. I've been lugging portions of my DVD collection around for the last 24 years. I have stacks of PS3 and PS4 games I've yet to play, and an unopened PS5. Especially disappointed Sony, who got many on the DVD (and then Blu-Ray) train will no longer make physical discs.

Brief rant: Yes it's cool that Brunson took less money so the Knicks could build a champion under the salary cap. But he shouldn't have *had* to. Salary caps are just tools billionaires use to suppress wages, and no one gets upset because the labor (pro athletes) make so much money. 1/5

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Tonight’s episode of THE PITT really hit home for my by tackling the trifecta of kidney failure, blood thinner, and the inescapable threat of aging. That’s fucking television, baby! (And I’m upset about it.)

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”
